The case of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, continues to grip the nation. Investigation Discovery’s “A Body In The Snow: The Trial of Karen Read” continues this Tuesday with “A Town Divided,” an episode that explores the fallout from this high-profile case and how it has fractured the community.
While some have dubbed Read “America’s Happiest Murder Defendant,” the episode digs beneath the surface of public perception, examining the evidence presented and the competing narratives surrounding the night O’Keefe died. As the legal proceedings continue, text messages revealed in court add fuel to the fire, exposing potentially humiliating details and raising new questions.
With Read maintaining her innocence and her defense suggesting a more complicated plot involving others, “A Town Divided” gives viewers an inside look at the courtroom drama and the impact this case is having on those closest to it. The episode also looks ahead to the re-trial, scheduled for April, after the previous trial ended in a mistrial, leaving many still searching for answers. The episode airs Tuesday, March 18th at 10:00 PM on Investigation Discovery.
